Project involved data analysis, design engagement, production of a technical justification and preparation of revised operational procedures. • Developed and implemented a revised operating procedure for recovery of plant from outage following a pump filter change, reducing plant downtime by upto 4 hours.• Supported implementation of an Area For Improvement (AFI) recommended by the regulator, specifically on control room standards. Rationalised the standing alarms in facility, downgrading redundant equipment to plant status, reducing the live standing alarms by 15%.• Acted as decision maker and SME during emergency stakeholder in response to an unknown sump arising in the operational facility. Optioneering carried out, confident decision made on most appropriate option and recovery plan implemented safely. Show less

Presented an improvement programme to the facility safety committee, received endorsement on the proposal from the regulator and implemented a suite of plant modifications and a new operational procedure that satisfied the regulatory notice.• Produced and implemented a Plant Modification Proposal (PMP) to address a facility nuclear safety risk. Task involved liaison with various stakeholders including; design, to scope and approve a replacement piece of equipment, and the external supplier to source and procure replacement unit and agree maintenance requirements. Implementation of this task in a timely manner was paramount to maintaining safe operations and removed a significant nuclear safety risk.• Lead a review of disciplined operations standards, specifically focusing on instruction use and adherence. Identified a gap on safety case compliance in a facility Quality Plan (QP). QP reviewed and updated to include all safety case compliance activities to align with site standards. Show less

Created a weekly dial in for all facilities to attend and discuss scheduled work, maintenance and agree on operational programme for forthcoming months. Previously communications between the facilities were poor and workstreams misaligned.• Identified a gap in emergency response to elevated pond chemistry conditions. Emergency instruction produced, pondwater quality plan updated and operational teams brief. The event had the potential to cause elevated pond water activity and aerial discharges. Response shared with regulator as best practise who provided excellent feedback. Show less
